We have been going to the Shining Star for about 10 years and to be honest last year was the worst year.NO not because of a drop in standards we still received the excellent food , fantastic service and all the other things we expect and get from the Beach Shack. What was the trouble , the Goan Government restricted... More

We were well looked after by all the staff but our waiter Reddy was fantastic and worked hard even guessing when we needed... More

Me and my wife were on a vacation after a long time and the sole purpose was to relax. We went down to baga searching for good shacks, I had already read reviews about this shack and therefore without any doubt entered this shack. It seems to be like any other beach shack lined along the beach, but the people... More

We visited Shining Star beach Shack on our first visit to Goa this year,and all I can say is,this is well worth a visit. They have free sun beds on the beach just outside where they look after you with anything from the food and drink menu.Try the prawn salad and spicy Calamari and chips,a perfect lunch between two of...

We came here twice whilst on holiday and they always helped us find a sun lounger and were quick to take our order for drinks, we had a few snacks throughout the day and they were lovely, staff very helpful and will return here on next visit :)

Great staff, great food, great atmosphere. Raj our waiter looked after us so well he was very aware of our every need from sorting our sunbed to recommending from the menu. Monday Bbq night is well worth a visit you can choose from a variety of fresh fish cooked to your own personal taste, amazing food. Highly recommended.
